THE DROUTH.

The summer of 1887 threatens to be a
year of short crops and Of even disaster to
many sections in the United States. The
intense heat and all absence of what are
termed general rains" are continuing to
blast the crops of the husbandman in many
localities. The rains of the summer, es-
pecially in the great Mississippi valley, have
proved spotted and streaked. There are
counties in Kansas and portions of counties
which, having lost their wheat, are now
threatened with total loss of corn. The
grass of many localities must inevitably
prove short. The news from many sec
tons of Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Dakota,
Iowa and Nebraska are equally discourag-
ing. Northern Texas wheat has suffered
from drouth for two years, but where
prospects six weeks ago were bright is now
greatly in need of rain, the corn and cotton
both suffering. So far this section of the
Arkansas valley has been favored bu, a
good rain will be needed in very few
days If this intense heat holds.

HAVE ALL KNOCKED UNDER.

1t is very gratifying TO observe that &c
one can be found to longer dispute the fact
that Wichita ranks above all other cities OF
Kansas in wealth and population. But
this co ncession should not be too hurriedly
set do wn as an act of peaceful concession
or anything of that sort. Figures and
facts as furnished by the EAGLE counted
for but little although backed by the
strongest evidence. But the sworn returns
IN ade and filed, in pursuance of law, at the
state house, settled the matter. The re
turns are In awaiting an official publica
ton. Sedgwick is the wealthiest county
In Kansas and Wichita the greatest city of
the Sun Flower state, greatest In business,
In wealth and in population. Now that
the fact is conceded, there is no disposition
TO blow over the matter but the pleasure
that it affords us in remembering it, will,
no doubt now and then, be improved by
making an transformations notice of the
pie asing incident If the older and former
greats desire anything at the hands of
Vic hita they have but to mention it. The
Peer less Princess desires to deserve.

practice. On the contrary, his personal
friends and himself combined could not
proven that result If they tried. At least
there was never clearer indication of pub
lie sentiment than that if there is to be a
dark horse at all it will be the son of Abra-
ham Lincoln. And this is not altogether
because he is the son of his father, either.
With the Inauguration of Gen. Garfield he
came prominently before the public, and
during the four years he was at the head
of the war department he showed himself
to be level headed, honorable and modest
The people were well pleased to find the
son of the great emancipation free from the
vices and the follies SO often found in the
sons of illustrious sires He made no enc
mics. Alike popular with both wings Of
the Republican party, his candidacy would
arouse no animosities. If he lacks mag
netic power-one of the prime qualities Of
his father-he is peculiarly strong in the
negative virtues. Should the convention
find itself deadlocked 1t would make no
mistake In taking him up and once more
doing battle under the Leadership of Lin
coin

GETTING READY FOR DEFEAT.

The New York Tribune published some
time ago the details of conference in Sec
rotary Whitney's hous In New York, be-
tween Secretary Manning, Gov. Hill and
Smith NJ. Weed. On that occasion the
re nomination of Mr.. Cleveland for presi-
dent and Mr. Hill for governor was agreed
upon.
From that time until recently all talk of
Hill as a presidential possibility for next
year ceased, and New York Democrats
began to talk of Cleveland for president
and Hill for governor as great combina
ton Gov. Hill has gone on, however,
with his arrangements to capture the next
Democratic state committee, the state sen.
ate,, and whatever other little prizes appear
within his reach
Now there is abundant evidence that the
compact is off" Hills newspapers have
begun to pitch into Cleveland for his rebel
flag order and his st. Louis letter. The
Albany Times has hammered the president
most numerically every day for these blum
bers since they were committed. The New
York Sun and World are equally REBEL
ious. Lieutenant Governor Jones, who
has been looking into Hills shoes, made a
speech last week in which he looked at
Clev Glands mistakes from a soldiers stand
point, though the record shows that he
never was enough of a soldier to hurt any
body. 1t is evident that Hill has whetted
his knife far Cleveland's scalp once more,
and is bound to take it, either at the con-
vention or at the polls.
There is nothing in these developments to
indicate Mr. Cleveland's defeat in the con-
vention. The party is bound to nominate
him because he holds the patronage in his
hands and would probably use it to the in
jury of any other candidate. But he will
go through the convention by the vote of
the solid south and without the aid of the
New York delegation He has SO deeply
insulted thu patriotic feeling of the north
that even Liet. Gov. Jones finds it neces-
sary TO repudate him. As Mr.. Cleveland
cannot be elected without the vote of New
York, it looks as though his party were
getting ready for defeat. Well, they
would be defeated with any other
candidate because Cleveland, if he
cannot win, will use the power of his
office to let the party down with thump.

THE people who publish private letters
without the consent of their writers are
sadly deficient in good breeding. A case
in point is of an Indiana colonel with
whom Buffalo Bill campaigned during the
war. Seeing that Cody was having such
a royal time in London he revived the old
Acquaintance by letter, and "Bill" replied
in the open hearted, frank manner natural
to him, telling how he was scooping the
Britons. 1t was the kind of letter man
might write to an intimate friend, but de-
cidedly not the letter he would write for
publication. The friend" was SO pleased
over it that he hurried it into print, and by
this time doubtless it has been cabled to
London, where it will greatly mortify
Bill and probably interfere in some meas
ure with his social pleasures If not with
his financial success. The fool-friend to
whom 1t was written never thought of

rHEcoRN CROP.

The question asked a thousand time!
since last March, will Kansas raise q corr
crop this year? cannot be Satisfactorily
answered yet. The drouth of last veal
was SO severe that the ground was said te
be dried to a greater depth than ever be-
fore known in this state. The rains this
summer do not seem to have sunken tc
any considerable depth and in consequence
only few days OF warm, dry weather is
required to tell disastrously to the growing
corn.
| information now in our possession war
rants us in saying that should the present
dry weather continue ten days longer the
corn crop of southern and western Kansas
will be short one. Large sections of
country in the nearer western counties are
so injured by the drouth that no amount of
rain can now insure crop of
corn. The counties at Sedg
wick, Cowley, Butley, Sumner,
Harvey, Reno, Kingman and Harper be-
10 all under better cultivation than the
newer counties, have not suffered to the
sa me extent as the newer sections. But a
very considerable of the corn even in those
counties is now suffering badly for rain.
And should the present dry weather last
very short crop is certain. There is one
thing to which the EAGLE has frequently
called attention, and that is the tendency
of corn In this section to gradually me-
ture later each year. In the last few years
this paper has advised our farmers to Sc
cure seed COTE from farther north in order
to secure earlier maturity. We believe
seed from northern Iowa planted here the
first of April would have matured by the
Fifteenth of July. Most of the farmers in
this state will agree that If the present
crop of corn could have matured twenty |
DAYS earlier that 1t would have been worth |
millions of dollars to Kansas
We do not remember to have talked with |
an observant old settler that has disagreed
with our theory on this matter and many
farmers will be likely to think more of this
matter hereafter. provided 1t does not rain
before they read this. So thoroughly |
was j. II. Todd convinced that the EAGLES
theory is right on this matter that two
years ago when he was IN the grain bust.
ness he told us that if the papers would
take this matter up, he would keep north
ern corn in his grain house each year for
seed, but he was afraid the farmers would
not buy it unless an effort was made to con-
vince them of the benefits to be derived by
the change of seed corn. We believe this
subject should receive the attention OF
farmers and others who are interested in
the prosperity of Kansas. l.

THE UNION PACIFIC RAILWAY.
When 1t Builds South It Will Build to

The vaporings of the Hutchinson News,
and of one or two other papers, touching
the matter of southern extension Of the
Union Pacific into the Arkansas valley
and their gratuitous fling and silly an
no uncement that the EAGLE was dis
runtled because said road was not coming
to Wichita. probably is not worth noticing.
For fear some one might be misled we
want simply to state that we know whereof
we speak when we say that the Union
Pacific will make no extensions this year,
b ut that when 1t does, which its president
b opes to do by next spring, that the first
line or extension will be run as directly to

ROBERTT.IINCOLN.
From the Chicago Tribane.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Some two months ago the Toledo Blade
through its weekly addition, propounded
to its Republican readers these three 9ues
tons: a. Who is your first choice fol
president? Cd Who is your second choice
for president? e Who is your choice fol
vice president? The Nasty letters have
given that paper subscribers in every state
and territory in the Union, although. OF
course its circulation is largely in Ohio.
The result of that inquiry test is presented
by states, also by candidates. Mr.. Blaine
received majority of all the votes polled
as first choice for president and Mr. Sher-
man about half as many as Blaine for sec
ond choice. Robert T. Lincoln had about
half as many for president as Sherman, and
may almost be said to have had no compel
itor in the field for the vice presidency.
Depew, Harrison, Sherman, Allison, In
had few votes, but not many. And in
the presidential race itself Dir. Lincoln was
everywhere good thiri.
The only man TO come anywhere near
either Blain or Sherman is Robert T. Lin
coin. He had 2. 331 votes as first choice
for president, and 1851 as second choice.
